Florence for history geeks

Truly unexpected and spectacular. The climb is an experience in itself, and reaching those views and that splendor is wonderful. Highly recommended.

The small group and detailed information about the art. The your was 1.5 hours and full of information. The pace was just right. Never felt rushed.

I am pleased. A manager escorted us for quick entry. Everything was clear and easy to understand. I recommend buying a combo ticket for the Uffizi and Pitti Palace (they are located very close to each other) and the Accademia.I recommend using the services of this site.Thank you.

Constanino and Valentino were excellent: smooth ride without incident; insights without being overbearing. Loved it. Would definitely recommend!

It was very easy to get in with the electronic ticket. The audio guide’s explanations were very thorough and easy to understand. The palace is very large, and sometimes it’s hard to tell which way to go based on the audio guide’s instructions. I wasn’t able to enter the royal apartments because, even though admission was free, I had to pick up another ticket, and that hadn’t been made clear beforehand. Otherwise, everything was perfect. Highly recommended!

Enjoyed being taken to places with a really great driver. The bus guide was very good especially impressed with 3 languages skill set. The wine tasting venue was great and very entertaining. Sienna guided tour was excellent. Great guide. Would have happily sacrificed Pisa for longer at vineyard as this seemed a little rushed. It was over lunch we gelled as a group and made new friends. Wasn't so impressed with the amount of walking involved from bus to venue. It didn't help that the temperatures were 35°C. Overall an excellent tour.

Alex is an incredibly warm and friendly guide! We absolutely loved this day trip to Siena, San Gimignano, and Monteriggioni. For me, visiting the actual locations from Ezio Auditore’s story was a real pilgrimage. As for the €22 lunch, it was fine, but if you prefer more freedom, feel free to choose your own restaurant—just make sure to be on time for the meeting. Finally, if you have the chance to visit a winery in Chianti, you absolutely must try Firmina. It’s a truly interesting wine to drink!

The quick and hassle-free entry and the informative German audio guide made booking through Headout well worth it (not to mention the clear directions to where the tickets were picked up, and the handover and explanation provided by the woman who gave us the tickets!)
